Music notes: Bret Michaels postpones SeaWorld gig

Poison lead singer and reality-TV star Bret Michaels postponed his Sunday show at SeaWorld San Antonio due to what turned out to be an inflamed appendix that landed him in a local hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery yesterday morning, according to a statement on his Web site.

The show was rescheduled for Oct. 1. Folks with tickets to the park Sunday will have them honored at the rescheduled show.

There was no word given Sunday night on what type of illness sidelined Michaels. A report from someone who was at the show indicated that the postponement was announced just minutes before showtime. His Web site’s statement mentions that Michaels received attention from medical personnel all day long in an attempt to get him in shape to perform, and that it was initially thought to be stomach flu.
